Shielded electric power cable separable connector module having a mating surface coated with a resin-bonded solid film lubricant

ABSTRACT

A shielded cable separable connector module is of the type having a contact assembly inside an insulating housing of elastomeric material. The housing includes a mating portion having a configuration suited for intimate engagement with a corresponding mating portion of a matching second module for establishing contact with the contact assembly of the second module. The improvement comprises a coating of phenolic resin-bonded polytetraflouroethylene solid film lubricant on the surface of at least the mating portion of the first module housing. A silicone grease may be used in addition to the solid film lubricant coating, if desired.
